The wine ‘ programme’ will be overseen by head sommelier Sam Heathcote who moves from the Bulgari Hotel and who previously worked at Alain Ducasse’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant at the Dorchester hotel, while Fabio Spinetti, from The Connaught will be the new bars and beverage manager.

The new menu is said to be full of international influences from places Tourondel has experience such as America, Moscow, Asia and Africa.

The 110-cover restaurant has been designed by the Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni, and will be located on the first floor of the hotel’s building.

An open kitchen, grill and sushi bar will offer a relaxed all-day dining with brasserie-like booth seating.
